Adelaide’s dominant grand final win over Melbourne has set the benchmark for the heights an AFLW side can achieve

Erin Phillips, Ebony Marinoff, Danielle Ponter, Marijana Rajcic, Stevie-Lee Thompson and Nikki Gore of the Crows celebrate with fans after the AFLW grand final at Adelaide Oval.Erin Phillips, Ebony Marinoff, Danielle Ponter, Marijana Rajcic, Stevie-Lee Thompson and Nikki Gore of the Crows celebrate with fans after the AFLW grand final at Adelaide Oval.Last modified on Mon 11 Apr 2022 04.

The win was marred by a heartbreaking ACL injury for Erin Phillips. In a game where she played only three quarters, Phillips still managed to win best on ground and with it came confirmation that not only was she a champion of the game but also the key to Adelaide’s enduring success. The success of 2019 was the first sign a legacy was brewing in South Australia.

The most obvious testament to the duo’s work ethic is their journey back to a grand final, having both missed last year’s defeat to Brisbane. If pre-game steely stares and post-match interviews are anything to go by, it seems for Randall delivering her team a third premiership was the completion of significant unfinished business. And for Phillips, perhaps closure.

In a league where consistency across fixtures, season starts and playing groups continues to prove elusive, the steadiness and maturity of experienced players such as Randall and Phillips have been crucial. As has continuity, with the Crows managing to also retain to date, Ebony Marinoff, Justine Mules, Stevie-Lee Thompson and Saturday’s best-on-ground Anne Hatchard – all now triple-premiership players.
